RE:Research a Lil more... You're the guru on here writing mini novels. Educate us oh great one! Based on your logic I should be able to pump lithium out of the oceans! I will be a gazillionair! Low grade but the largest supply in the world!

As I've stated - check out the govt. Docs and research papers on Nevada lithium and study their basin reports and papers - these are not mining companies reporting rock results to capture can investors eye - lol - but rather unbiased reports -
Check out what other lithium companies have in average ppm. And to be fair - post their average
Lithium ppm's. (:average lithium in brine - ppm ) not their highest ppm but what they - average.
Then, you'll see.
Then I suggest - check out oil brine lithium - and what other companies are wanting to achieve.
Some have even less lithium ppm - but....the aquifers are large and thus results in tons of lithium - again low lithium ppm - 78 - 150 ppm but lots of it. So, their issues become how to extract such small amounts of lithium in very vast aquifers which translates to lots and lots of lithium but the trick is to process a lot more brine to extract the lithium to be profitable.
Having lower ppm doesn't nessisarily make a project null and void - if Kibby- does host an aquifer - and say they average 100 ppm - what if they sink 20 wells - and what if they begin searching out proprietary technology for - rapid lithium extraction - again what if they do find an aquifer - this is not like Clayton Valley - with how many mining companies trying to tap into the ( perhaps one aquifer below ) Belmont pret. near has the Libby Basin in their own clutches - at least the prime zones.
At the end of the day... I don't think many are knowledgeable when it comes to understanding
What other companies are averaging in ppm's and comparing CONCENTRATED values in rocks vs clay or brine - brine is entirely different.
Drilling for brine - PPM results...
Whats PE's ppm?
What's Ultras ppm ?
Whats American ppm?
Whats Nevada Lithiums ppm ?
What's LIC's ppm - lol
And the list goes on...
When one researches and then figures out what others are averaging in brine lithium - not hard rock and nooooo not concentrated lithium after evaporation - then post that info. For all.
And once a person figures out the industry standard - aside of 4000+ ppm exceptions - such as NEO - its then one takes their head of the clouds and figures out - how the others will profit basing it on 300 - 700 ppm - and that translates into - pump\flow rate - cubed volume of aqifer - extraction technology - new method rapid extraction or conventional being sun evaporation.
Anyways... Good luck to all.
Board fighting is not for me.
Cheers !
